A Pottsville man was acquitted Tuesday in Schuylkill County Court of a charge that he was disorderly in August on the street in front of his home.

Colonel John J. Liptok, 47, is not guilty of disorderly conduct, Judge John E. Domalakes ruled after a 30-minute hearing.

Pottsville police had charged Liptok with causing a disturbance and fighting shortly before midnight Aug. 8 in the 1800 block of West Norwegian Street in the city.

"Words were exchanged, which led to ... a physical altercation," city police Patrolman Michael P. Stank testified.Stank also testified "that there were several car loads of young adults with margie" and "there were neighbors and others that were outside witnessing the event"

Stank testified Liptok and his nephew, Patrick Margie, were "standing toe to toe screaming at each other" in the residential neighborhood when he arrived. He also said he saw no injuries on either Liptok or Margie.

Liptok testified that Margie, who did not testify and was not even present for Tuesday's hearing, was the instigator of the disturbance and that he acted solely to protect his truck.Liptok said "the night before he seen margie smash his truck window out with a baseball bat and that the cars full of teenagers were margies gang, and that thewere all high and drunk, and they were left go because thier relatives were judges, police officers and politicians"whe cross examined by the DA she asked why did you go outside in your condition? and liptoks reply was " I am a marine , I dont run from anyone including a gang, or corrupt cops" "my rights have been violated for over 20 years here in this county like everyone else, and that is sad. wasting time and money citing victims of crimes and letting the gangs do what they want" the asst da and officer stank kept laughing at him , but in the end the joke was on them!

liptok just ran for president of the united states, and plans to run again for 2016 , He is hopeful that he has a running mate , he said governor jesse ventura might be a possibility .

wow! the paper left out a lot of what happened in court. are they corrupt too? i do think it was true the cop and the DA were laughing. probably a lot of laughing that day in the courthouse. maybe governor ventura can make an appearance at the beer and burger and announce his new running mate for 2016.

goons or bitches? it would make sense that the charges were dropped on this man. The fines on the goon doubled, and now they just do what they arebitchinthe only prison time to worry about is the time the goons will spend with bubba. maybe all the years patty spent in there she can give them some pointers? now, eat some cheese goofy goon

Thats right, come on hee and talk big sh it , and be a keyboard commando. The laughing is at patrick margies expense, because his fine was doubled for being an idiot! The real laugh was and is the goons! 2 cars of them and armed with pickles and all and they still couldnt do a thing to that old crippled marine. now post some more to yourselves so everyone else can laugh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAAA HAAAHAAAAAAHAAHAAAAAROTFFLOAO

Glad to have you back Kernal. We thought you forgot about the goons after you started the war your new neighbor fireboy.

Just based upon what I read on these forums it sounds like the Colonel is constantly getting his butt kicked. Assaulted with pickles, headbutted, slapped around by a goon, etc. Maybe it's time for him just stay home with his computer where it's much safer. You're getting too old for this sh*t Colonel, seriously.
